1900 Federal Census
(Transcribed by Sandie Cummins)
Hocking County Ohio, Green Township,  City of Logan
June 6th, 1900, W. S. Stone, Enumerator

Within this page of facts and numbers are tales of men, women and children who lived in Hocking County.
When their lives turned towards misfortune and poverty, they found themselves with nowhere
else to go but the Hocking County Poorhouse. The poor, aged, and mentally ill, immigrants
and transients; all committed because they had no means of support. The Hocking County Poorhouse
was home to the people society wished to forget.  But behind each name is a story. If you have history
or genealogy for any of the residents of the Hocking County Poorhouse,  please consider sharing
it with others. I would be proud to post your contribution on this website.
